The podcast award category was \u2018Changing the World One Moment at A Time\u2019 for which an extract of this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kite.link\/episode18\">episode with Jeff Fuchs<\/a>\u00a0was considered.<\/p>\n<p>As Truth Behind Travel Podcast turns one year old next week, I reflect on a journey I never thought I would embark on and certainly not one I felt could be something I could make my voice heard with. Someone once said: there are no failures, only learning. So here are 3 lessons I learned by not winning the award.<\/p>\n<p>Lesson 1 \u2013 Who am I really helping with my podcast?<\/p>\n<p>With travel recovery in mind, each episode of the podcast would shine a light on a different aspect related to restoring travel confidence. Helping the industry to get back on its feet, refresh its marketing strategies and restart with a customer-oriented mindset.<\/p>\n<p>Conversation after conversation I developed a personal interest in sustainability and responsible travel, however, I did not (yet) deepened my knowledge around what can really make an impact on the lives of people who have been affected by the lack of tourism.<\/p>\n<p>Not winning this award showed me how much work is yet to be done about it on the podcast and triggered a series of ideas on how each episode could flag an issue we need to know about and carry on building a legacy of positive change.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lesson 2 \u2013 How difficult could it be?!<\/p>\n<p>My favorite Africa proverb says: If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together. When I started Truth Behind Travel Podcast, I was used to self-learning. Video Editing, Photo Editing, Content Planning. All to support my work in hospitality marketing &amp; communication.<\/p>\n<p>With podcasting, I sort of started along the same line, thinking \u201cHow difficult could it be?!\u201d investing in tools and what I needed to know to get the show started.<\/p>\n<p>Not winning this award, proved me wrong. I recognized how much more work goes behind the scenes of quality production and despite being ultra-careful in ensuring a high-quality audio experience, podcast production is a whole different game. I salute you, podcast producers, you are my new heroes!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lesson 3 \u2013 Impact and Quality Content<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, it is about the value that each listener takes away from each episode. I must say, I loved all my interviews, but I do recognize that in some I was more tuned in than in others, and I see that now.\u00a0Focusing on delivering value is one thing, but doing so for the sake of covering topics and losing that deep connection to what lights up my heart, has had an impact and I am committed to reframing that.<\/p>\n<p>Not winning this award has taught me that, on the podcast more than ever, I am committed to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doloressemeraro.com\/my-core-values-during-lockdown\/\">my core values<\/a>\u00a0to constantly and consistently deliver a quality podcasting experience to my audience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doloressemeraro.com\/podcast\/\">Truth Behind Travel Podcast\u00a0<\/a>is growing and evolving, and I am very proud of how far it has come and the amazing speakers I have hosted. Each one of them has contributed with their insights and knowledge to take that extra step towards travel recovery and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Each episode is like a chapter of a new travel book we are writing together and I am grateful I get to do this every week and bring it to my audience with my core values at the helm.\u00a0If you want to join me on this journey, subscribe to the podcast\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/landing.mailerlite.com\/webforms\/landing\/j8v0b8\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to having more inspiring conversations and share them with you all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Truth Behind Travel Podcast got shortlisted for an award hosted by\u00a0The Skylark Collective, but these are 3 lessons I learned by Not winning the Podcast Award.
